I hope I'm not causing unnecessary confusion by misstating myself. I have understood that I will need to custom code my app. I was just seeing if I could/should start with an App Wizard app. Are you saying I can't update the attributes of an object if those attributes are in multiple tables? For instance, I want to have an "Account Maintenance" screen to update attributes of "account" objects. An account has addresses, dept contacts, phone numbers, notes, etc. (And each address might have more than one phone number, each contact person might have more than one phone number, etc). I would like to be able to update any attributes of an certain account from its management screen. Also there are other types of objects that I would like to have screens to update their attributes. Can I bind controls on a form to query results like in Access? If I could then it seems like I could do what I need that way. Although I had in mind that I would be using a more object-oriented approach for Dabo/Python. -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/Need-direction-for-project-tp29378019p29392300.html Sent from the dabo-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/dabo-users Searchable Archives: http://leafe.com/archives/search/dabo-users This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/[email protected]
